Abstract

Methods and network systems for enabling a network service for a client belonging to a home network () by using at least one Virtual Network Function, VNF (D) of a Virtualized Infrastructure (C) in a visited network (). When requested by the home network, the visited network instantiates (), a nested Virtualized Infrastructure Manager, VIM, (E) which previously has been onboarded in the visited network and has been selected from a set of predefined VIMs supported by the home network. The visited network also instantiates () in the nested VIM a VNF package which has been onboarded in the visited network and having software needed to execute the network service. The network service can then be employed using the instantiated VIM and VNF package.
